We visited this modest-sized museum at Neah Bay to learn more about the history and culture of the local Native American Tribe, the Makahs. The museum was established to protect and display a sample of the numerous artifacts excavated from the prehistoric village of Ozette...More

This is a really educational location and it was amazing to see how the Makah tribe lived and thrived. I would highly suggest going if you are interested in Native American history. They do not allow photos of the exhibits, but they explain in a...More

Small but well-done museum focusing on the Makah Nation and archeological finds from the village of Ozette, which was buried in a mudslide. Nicely presented with interesting artifacts, displays, and photographs. Spent about an hour here and bought a couple gifts at the shop.

I went directly here after my hike up on Cape Flattery. I wanted to know more. So glad I followed my curiosity. I entered and started to read and analyze the exhibits. The Makah lived off the bounty of the sea. They hunted whales and...More

I agree about an hour to visit the museum. If like us you enjoy video presentations the one at the end of your walk through the museum is very good with tribal elder stories. The hike only takes about 20 minutes each way... More

I agree about an hour to visit the museum. If like us you enjoy video presentations the one at the end of your walk through the museum is very good with tribal elder stories. The hike only takes about 20 minutes each way. However we usually spend extra time out at the lookouts. Lots of pictures and a pair of binoculars would be handy. Be sure to be prepared for rainy conditions. I would devote at least 2 1/2 hours in the Mean Bay area. Here's to nature at its finest.
